Well folks, I have to admit that the end of my career in retail is far more shocking than I thought it would be. Don't get me wrong, it's an ABNOSOME relief to be gone from the oppressively negative work environment generated by the company I worked for, but I will miss all the crazy people I worked with. My last day was full of some bittersweet goodbyes, but I know that my new path in life and all the adventures it brings me will be well worth the time I spent stocking shelves to get there.
Considering that this blog was created as a means for me to vent my feelings about my work environment and how much I felt like it was destroying me, I have had a lot of time to look back and realize that I also have some fond memories of customers and the people I worked with.
Of these, I would most like to thank my department supervisor. She has been there through eight years of alternating joy, misery, stress and rage (on both sides) through many aspects of work and personal life. If it hadn't been for her decision to make me responsible for training my coworkers those long years ago, I would never have made those discoveries about myself that helped me figure out what I was really supposed to do with my life. She put me in positions that forced me to get in touch with the inner leader I didn't know I had. She drove me to excel in all aspects of my life, and I will miss her more than I have words to express.
I have one final parody to place here before this blog is done for good, but at the moment life beckons...
